[DarktoreS]

"Sabre glare trait'' on HA-2 ..? No for me, is very good match for travel dac/amp !

 

[TokenGesture]

There is no 'sabre glare' on the HA-2 to these ears

 

[emptymt]

They should release a dt1990 and 1880.

 
That's T90 and T1 already.

The T series are consumer models, the DTs are PRO models. On the IFA the project manager said that at least the open version should not be a big surprise as they always had both open and closed. That would be the DT1880, wouldn't it?

 

[pietcux]

Btw, the sound of the DT1770 is addictive to me. Just got me a copy of David Gilmore's Rattle that Lock album, I am very curious how that goes together.

How would you compare it to Audeze LCD-X, Shure SRH1840, AKG K702, Sennheiser HD800? Does it really sound pro?

Oh I only owned the K702 for a long period of time. To me the K702 was good, but always a bit boring. The DT1770 is not boring at all. The DT1770 is not super neutral, it has a slightly warm sound with a very good controlled and powerful bass. vocals are very good presented and the high notes are fast and there without being peaky so to say. I find the sound overall very engaging and powerful without being fatiguing at all. The fit is perfect, tight but not too much. I find it very comfortable. I feels like a very reliable and long lasting tool.

Well said. This is what I wanted to say about DT1770PRO too. very engaging and powerful.

8 is always reserved for semi-open phones by beyer's nomenclature. Full open back version would be DT1990PRO.

Do we know if they'll release different impedance versions in the future? I have the 770 32ohm and think it's great (if weird) out of an iPhone -- wonder if there will be a 32ohm 1770 soon/ever.

Bring on DT 1880 PRO already....
